I've fixed this locally in two ways: a) use cronolog and alter init.d (see attached diff) Pro: simple Con: end up with two logs
b) using log4j Pro: catalina.log file has predictable name for log analysis Con: more complicated for b) you need to delete the -outfile and -errfile line from the init.d script, then create /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/classes/log4j.properties (attached) finally creating two symlinks: ln -s ../../../java/log4j-1.2.jar /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/log4j.jar ln -s ../../../java/commons-logging.jar /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/lib/commons$ I'm actually using method b) because it's essential that I have a predictable filename for log monitoring.
